The butterfly is much more glossy and delicate. Hard to get a good picture. The background is created from a really cool circle stamp from Stampers Anonymous. I used the watercolor markers to color the alternate circles with orange and pink. I spritzed it with some water and stamped in a diagonal to create a fun background. The Merci stamp is from the Hero Arts Thanks Clear Stamps Set. The butterfly pin is from Claires. I have taken to stalking the clearance center there with my DD when she wants to browse the jewelry. They have so many fun pieces of jewelry which make great accessories on the cards. :)

I love the pink and orange color combination and thought this was a very fun pattern. I worked from a loose interpretation of the sketch and used the tulle to give the effect of the sketch. :)

We had some big thunderstorms last night but no damage and no tornadoes which I am very thankful for. Today looks like some beautiful weather. Hope your day is filled with sunshine!

Beautifully done. I never thought of checking the clearance section at Claire's for embellishments. I'll have to check that out next time I'm in the US. Thanks for playing along with us at Card Patterns this week.
